Good and bad table manners

2009-11-10T12:00:00.011-05:00

As you all know by now, I'm a wowld class foodie, hehehehehe
I beg at the table all the time

my bwuvvew Duffy on the othew hand is an angel..totally unintewested in the dinnew table

but ,in my defense, I submit to you sweet fwiends the following evidence of my innocence

all I was doing was admiwing Mommi's plate of Fettucini Alfwedo that auntie Kawen had made
( I mean who wif a nose wouldn't, well, xept Duffy and Petey who only cawes about tennis balls, but that's just weiwd)

as you can cleawly see hewe it's all Mommi's fault

then came Saltimbocca and spinach..well, I ask you...............

I can't help it if Mommi fowces me to eat these things, hehehehehe
she has tewwibull table mannews

of cowse it's anothew mattew when we move away fwom the table
my little "angel" bwuvvew seems to have a sweet toof, hehehehe

I think asking fow icy tweats desn't count..anyway blood owanges awe good fow you.and they'we the most bootiful colow
evewyone needs vitamins

note from Mommi:
Asta's bad habits are completely my fault..once you give a furrkid food from the table, all bets are off, so be warned
if you want a well manered pup, don't feed them people food

smoochie kisses,

I was sitting in bed playing wif a stuffie, when I stawted heawing the shouting of the cwowd on TV
I wan ovew to look what was going on
It was the tickew tape pawade fow the Champeen Yankees(sowwy evewybody)

I kept watching, imagining all that lovely papew and how well I could shwed it

It weally is a pwetty amazing sight..we haven't had one fow a long time, and I love a celebwation

As the floats came closew, I did a double take...I couldn't believe my eyes..Tannew and his twinnew Scootew sitting on a float..just follow the awwow and you'll see them

Those two have been melding theiw bwains in an effowt to help out the Yankees..Obviously it wowked and they wewe flown in and honowed fow theiw contwibootion to this win

sheeesh..hewe they awe in City Hall

I think they'we going to have bweakfast wif the mayow and all the Yanks

Yummmmmmmmm, lucky guys

I suwe hope they don't get swelled heads fwom this Wowld Sewies Win

(btw, Mommi is fwom Oowope and she still doesn't undewstand how it can be called a wowld sewies when the only tems awe fwom the USA...we awe the wowld????)

I pawsonally don't cawe about details like that..I just am happy to celebwate wif my fwiends..I think I'll wun down to city Hall and twy to find Tannew and Scootew and go pawty wif them

I know Joey will be thewe, and Kousin Koobus, and Sophie?

Neighbowhood Ewwands on a sunny fall day

2009-11-04T00:42:00.013-05:00

Mommi and I usually go on ewwnds evewy day awound ouw neighbowhood

I'm leading hew towawd my favowite edge of the sidewalk

I'm a little sick of posing wif punkins Mommi

I'd wathew find the pawfect leaf to cwunch

Ok, now you want me to pose wif the leaves( Hoomans and theiw flashy boxes awe a menace)

It is bootiful though to have the sun, and the fwesh aiw and the leaves
so I stop and think how lucky I am to be able to walk in such a nice place

This window is still left ovew fwom Halloween, but I thought you would like to see it

pawsonally, I just want to wead the peemail left by fwiends and neighbows

thewe awe notes evewywhewe fow me..I think Petey was hewe

we'we almost home..just one mowe stop...we have to go get ouw fwesh baguette of the day
you can see it in it's bag on the bench

I wait patiently, while mommi sits on the bench and has a coffee and talks to evewyone she bumps into..usually, i get a taste of the fwesh bwead as a wewawd.

Hope all of you had a lovely Novembew day too
I just love fall

Family Weunited

2009-10-28T00:12:00.007-05:00

I was out admiwing the bootiful fall leaves wif my sissie Mywna , when Vinnie,the postman, stopped us on the stweet and said thewe was a telegwam waiting fow Mywna at the fwont desk.
We huwwied as fast as hew wheels and my feets would allow back to ouw building.
She wead it out loud to me:

My sweet Myrna wife... I will be arriving in New York by Dale express (if he can stay on his feet) by midnight. This house is just too weird even for a short visit with Scruffy, Stanny and that Lacie. I only hope our dear Bert has not absorbed any of this oddness...ticks on heads...matches and ticks, tons of candles??, flat dogs in corners and finally tonight's episode...Mumsie came up to my room where I sleep when visiting...she had those pink pepto bismal tutus in her clawlike hands, ready to put them in the already stuffed dog torture drawer....then she saw me...and an IDEA formed....I didn't wait for the inevitable...I grabbed Bertie and wheeled to the unconscious Dale and climbed aboard...I refoose to plie, rel a vay, jete or any other stoopid ballet move ever... I am most looking forward to being reunited with you, my Darling....
Yours in wheel oil,
Gilbert

You see Gilbewt took Bewtie fow a visit wif his aunt Lacie and unkels Scwuffy and babyStan
but if you've been to theiw bloggie lately , you know what kaos it can be.
Fwankly, Mywna also suspects that Bewtie's unkel's might not be the bestest inflooence on a boy of his tendew yeaws..I mean cigaw chomping pokew pawties almost evewy night........

This is Mywna evewyone..I will tell you what happened next: I quickly got the house weady, but didn't have time to dwess befowe my Dawling husband Gilbewt and baby boy Bewtie awwived

Gilbewt and I tucked Bewtie into bed wif his sissie Womy and aftew a stowy, and a lullabye, the exhausted little cuties dwifted off to sneep

I had chilled the mawtoonis in anticipation, and told Gilbewt to get comfowtable and take off his wheels
we talked long into the night and wewe soo vewy happy to be togethew again
It's still waining hewe, but we'll go fow a lovely woll wif the kids and look at all the fall decowations tomowwow
I just hope babyStan got home Ok and things have settled down in the Kweit household
those youngstews awe aways up to something.

(if you don't believe me, go see fow youwselves)

Fow now, I'm not letting my family out of my sight

"Hello DWB pals. I am writing today to BEG you to please consider helping my mom. My mom has the possibility of representing the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the 2010 Boston Marathon. She is raising pledges to try to be picked as the runner who will get the marathon number that has been given to the League. The winner will be based on who can raise the most in pledges between now and October 31st. 100% of donations raised will go to the charity.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is a humane organization that: places homeless pets with loving people, helps prevent cruelty and neglect, promotes humane education as well as other services for animals such as veterinary care, animal rescue, foster care, rehabilitation and training. To learn more about the Animal Rescue League click HERE.

Additionally, next May my mother is turning 5.714 dog years (40 in human years) and it would be great if I could help her attain one of her dreams as a 40th birthday present - that is, to run the Boston Marathon.

If you can help please email: petfxr@gmail.com with the amount that you can pledge."

All this talk of wunning cewtainly got me in the mood to go to the wun, and i was in luck..it's not waining fow a change, hehehe

I wait stealthily(is that a wowd? pwobably not, but you know what i mean)

and wait

I am sad to announce,that ouw beloved and bwilliant CEO and foundew along wif Angel Woscoe is wetiwing.

We awe all very upset about it, but as Kawl says ,"you can't tell a cat what to do - especially not a Sassy-cat... So we accept the facts but will give her a BIG retirement surprise party. She thought she could get away with just having a little get-together of the Little Productions board members but we went ahead and rented Versailles for the party and combined it with a trip to Paris."

2009-10-15T13:29:00.025-05:00

I made a smilebox fow you of the day we spent at Mango's estate and then lunch in his Mastew Chew Sits countwieside..the fall leaves wewe bootiful and the Mommies weally got into the mood fow fall
Hectow wheelie went along fow the lunch..he is a dawedevil..you can see what he did on Mango's bloggie

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

The next day, we went on a big walk awound Boston..Quincy mawket awea and the hawbow wif Agatha and Aggie's PL as toow guide, we leawned sooo much about the histowy of this gweat city and ouw countwy.it was fantastic

I couldn't wesist nipping into some of the stowes, hehehe

don't you feel like you'we in a histowy book?

flat Ewic and Flat me took time out to be silly too..not all about leawning, hehehehe

the duckies didn't look like they minded the cold, but we stawted feeling a nip in the aiw
we went to a wawm place and had pizza befowe going home and collapsing in ouw wawm ,soft beds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouw last day was bwisk and sunny, and we decided to go toow Agatha and Awchie's School HAWVAWD
(now you know the secwet to why they know so much)

They have a pawfect place in theiw nudnick mobile and wewe demosntwating how they get in and out

We awwived at Hawvawd Yawd and felt smawtew aweady just being thewe

Awchie led the way

Only the two of them wewe allowed in wif theiw pwopew IDs..the west of us didn't have them. (Awchie almost didn't get in the doow,he dwopped his ID and almost lost it) It's a little known fact, but bof Agatha and Awchie got eawly admission and a full scholawship to this august institootion..(Agatha got a spowts scholawship, and of couwse Awchie was awawded his fow his deep thinking)

they wan up and down the steps to keep theiw bwains shawp and awake befowe attacking theiw bagged official Hawvawd Lunch bags

They wanted to show us evewy pawt of theiw campuss

knowing that many of the Mommi's awe awt owiented , they showed off the Henwy Moowe sculptoowe that was modeld aftew them (pawsonally , I think he missed theiw essence)

Aftew we left the campuss,we walked awound and looked at othew intewesting stuff neaw the school

It's all vewy bootiful..but we hated the cwowds of toowists and buses so we went to quietew stweets

Mommi took this pictoowe fow those fwiends who awe NPW listenews and know the caw goowoos..this is theiw office in Hawvawd yawd
It was time fow ouw last lunch togethew befowe getting on the bus to go home...booo hoooooooooo

we wewe all sowt of sad

Awchie was soo exhaustewed fwom all that school stuff, he was cawwied up his staiws by his PL

we left wif many wondewful memowies and a detewmination to come back and see some mowe and especially to spend time wif ouw fantastic fwiends.
Thank you Agatha and Awchie and youw PLs fow being the most amazing hosts in the wowld and fow all the othew fwiends who made this such a memowable and stoopendous twip.

smoochie kisses

Boston-the Flat Touw Pawt 2

2009-10-14T15:46:00.027-05:00

I woke to a most bootiful cwisp fall day,looked out my favowite window in the kitchen and sniffed the aiw..I just knew it would be a glowious day

Mommi discovewed a wondewful spot to stawt hew day..Agatha and Awchie's woof..a pawfect place to have hew mowning coffee and ummmm, that icky smokey stick

The sun wawmed, the aiw was fwesh, and you could smell the fiweplaces in the neighbowhood while biwdies said good mowning

you can see in all fouw diwections and Mommi loved it up thewe

she left evidence of whewe she had walked, hehehe..(you'd think wif all the mystewy books she weads she'd know to not leave footpwints)

meantime, Agatha and Awchie(in the faw pawt of the pictoowe) wewe having theiw own bweakfast

"OK, we'we weady to go " say the little nudnicks

thewe awe a billion wondewful buildings and it's hawd not to get a sowe neck swiveling and twying to see them all

finally, ouw destination..The Main Public Libwawy on Copley Squawe
(we had lots of enewgy, cause we had just finished big bowls of chowdew-xept fow some ,like Lacie who awen't piggies and only eat naked salad)

We all LOOOOOVE Books and this was a You nan ee Moos choice

hewe awe The DogmomsIn fwont of a Lady awtist statoo
Ewic's,Duffy'sLacie's mine, and Agatha and Awchie's

this is the view of the squawe fwom the steps

Aggie and Awchie's Dogdad is the bestestest toow guide in the oonivewse..he knows evewything!

up the staiws we went,
that cat is wathew lawge,but he was fwiendly,so ouw flat selves wewen't scaiwed

you wondew what the Mom's awe looking at?

the amazing moowals..some wif paintings of the most bootiful ladies,(obviously gowgeous tewwiew models wewe all the wage even then, hehehe)
just dazzling

looking down at the centwal couwtyawd
we decided it would make a pawfect doggie wun ,we just have to figoowe out how to get them to give it to us(along wif the building so we can all live thewe togethew, hehehehe)

if you look closely, you can see us westing ouw feets down thewe and having a little snackie(we had to make do wif what they had at the mooseum, I can't believe they didn't let Lacie plug in hew blendew aftew she lugged it all awound wif hew just fow such an occasion)

befowe leaving, I peecked into the main weading woom, and thewe was Awchie
he's such a vewy stoodious boy(I just love an intellectooal boy)

We had just enuff time to wun home,pick up the welentlessly hooge's Mom and meet evewyone fow dinnew in the Nowf End
What a gweat neighbowhood..non-stop Italian eatables evewywhewe

My flat self sat next to Mango's flat hoogeness(he was a vewy polite dinnew companion and a suwpwisingly delicate eatew)

Flat Lacie sat next to my baby Bwuvvew Flat Duffy but only had eyes fow the Mango

Mango was no match fow hew chawms, and even followed us to the ladies woom

latew that evening..Wiley joined us fow an aftew dinnew walk and wouldn't you know it..he fell fow hew too

Toffee weluctantly posed fow the camewas, but was most anxious to wun back to hew woom wif hew twoo love flat-Ewic Squawe dog, who had come all the way fwom London fow the occasion

It was a splendifowous Day, just as I knew it would be..we all dwopped into bed wif happy memowies and full tummies
be shoowe to visit Agatha and Awchie, Lacie,Duffy, Ewic, Toffe and Wiley fow fuwthew descwiptions of ouw adventoowe
smoochie kisses

The Flat Adventoowe begins

2009-10-13T11:06:00.017-05:00

As you might know,
I , (flat Asta) have been away fow a while now
I went to Boston in Mommi's suitcase cause she was going to go meet wif a bunch of my fwiends pawents and I didn't want to be left out

I awwived at Agatha and Awchie's house..it's boootiful
I can hawdly wait to see them

the hoomans went nuts when they saw A&A, and those poow kids had to do all sowts of twicks to please them (fwankly , I think it's unfaiw..we just wanted to catch up on gossip and play, but you have to hoomow the hoomoms)

Agatha is vewy sewious about the sanctitiy of hew pwivate bomb sheltew..of couwse , she invited us giwls in gwaciously

You have to give Awchie cwedit fow nevew giving up..twying ovew and ovew to entew

(he is sooo handsome I could nevew stay mad at him if I wewe Aggie, but then he's hew bwuvvew and that's diffewent)

The only way to get wid of the hoomans and get some pwivacy was fow A&A to demonstwate how absolutely good they awe
phew, we finally got wid of them..they went off to be silly and meet up wif the othews who wewe awwiving at a hotel latew

Agatha convinced us to go and spy on them hehehehehe
hewe she is between Mumsie (Scwuffy,babyStan and Lacie's Hoomom) and hew(A&A's) fathew

This allowed Agatha, Awchie, Toffee and Wiley to see an amazing sight..
Mumsie dwinking NOT a coke zewo.....nedless to say.they wewe amazed

Toffee and Wiley's Mom looking bootiful and young, and Mommi twying despewately to stwetch hew neck so that she doesn't look as saggy and old as she is
(you can see how tewwibly silly they get when in a gwoup togethew..not at all dignified like us doggies)

they had the most bizawwe libations..
no wondew they wewe acting goofy (the joy of seeing each othew and feeling like they'd known each othew fuwwevew because of wondewful US, contwibooted to the mood)

Mumsie, the PLs, Toffee and Wiley's pawents, auntie Kawen(my bwuddew Duffy's Mom),Ewic's squawe Mum was sound asneep in hew woom aftew hew twansatlantic flight.
We left them to theiw silliness and went back to A&A's house fow ouw own fun evening

If you go to A&A's bloggie and to Lacie's, you can see mowe of ouw faboolous New England dinnew made by that wenowned chef Agatha (Archie tends to wowwy a lot, the sweet love wants evewything to be pawfect)

make shoowe you go visit them and heaw what they have to say

The day took a lot out of me..the twip, the excitement and my full tummy all made me weady fow an eawly night
Just look at this fantastic woom they gave me..I was in heaven

I aways like to wead befowe going to sneep
Soon , my eyes got heavy and I fell asneep..
I'll tell you about the west of my vacation soon
I hope all of you awe well..I've missed you and will twy to visit soon

The Feast of St Fwancis

2009-10-04T18:23:00.007-05:00

This is the one time of yeaw that you will find us in chuwch. Mommi and Daddi awe not vewy weligious.. Daddi's a quackew and mommi is a vewy lapsed catholic , which makes me a Quacklic i think. But thewe is a sweet little chuwch hewe in Gweenich Village whewe we go fow the blessing of the Animals.
It's a vewy incloosive chuwch whewe all awe welcome and anywhewe that loves aminals we love

this nice lady pastow blessed me and said sweet things to me..I liked hew lots
Thewe wewe tons of fuwwkids thewe, and I have made you a smilebox so you can see them

Make a Smilebox slideshow

aftew the blessing ,umm, we got thiwsty, and some of the hoomans decided to have mimosas on the way home..Two of my fwiends fwom the wun, Lyle and Pumpkinjoined me in hanging out on the sidewalk while the hoomans gabbed and dwank.
About a billion passews by gave us lovies and told us we wewe wondewful

a pawfect Sunday aftewnoon
(plus we awe now guawanteed to be angels , hehehehehe)

I have to go get weady now and wait fow Butchy.
He's picking me up to go pawty at his house fow his Biwfday!
BE suwe to stop by and wish him well!!!!

Pee ess Mommi is bettew aftew eating my soup, but keeps caughing up stuffy guts, hehehehe

My vewy own wecipe

2009-10-01T19:24:00.008-05:00

Mommi is sick
she has a BIG headache , and achy bones, and nooo enewgy, which explains the sowwy state of my bloggie and all my unanswewed fwiends

I wawmed up the bed fow hew and showed hew what she should do, but she keeps jumping up and doing stoopid chowes and stuff, and then she wondews why she can't get bettew..hoomans awe weiwd.
When I don't feel well, I have sense enuff to cuwl up somewhewe cozy and sneep

Then I wemembewed that my vewy thoughtful fwiend Lacie had sent me a tuwkey fow just such an occasion.. so I decided to cook tuwkey soup

then I thought, if a tuwkey would make a good soop, I bet it would be even bettew if I made it a wichew soop wif mowe ingwedients

I added some cown on the cob, a naked chicken, a lobstew, a duck, and gulp (a big sacwifice) my bwand new stwetchy necked ,dememted chicken

just checking on the ingwedientses

this tastes mawvelous..I'm pwetty suwe Mommi will love it and get well in no time

Gilbert and Myrna and the kids spent a lovely weekend at their house in the Burgh, there was lots of playing and kissing
The kids snuck into their parents bedroom in the morning and woke them and begged to get under the covers for a family cuddle session

the Kwoonsky -Kweit family all together

Myrna and Romy had to go see to things in Manhattan and there were tears at parting

It's always sad to have to say goodbye, even if it's for a little while

wheeley smoochies the Kroonsky-Kreit family

Biwfday weekend

2009-09-27T16:19:00.025-05:00

It seems like only yestewday that I moved to New Yawk

I had to get used to an apawtment in a bulding wif an elevatow instead of the Nowf Cawolina backyawd i had known

I had to get used to clothes to wawd off the wintew tempewatoowes

I leawned about bagging my fiwst fox, and what to do wif stuffies (I became a vewy good suwgeon in no time)

Since then my life has been beyond wondewful!

this yeaw , I tuwned thwee..the time has flown , and so much has happened in my life

the most wondewful thing is that I have been pawt of dogs wif blogs and have made the most wondewful fwiends in the oonivewse

I tweasoowe all of you and can't begin to explain how much it means to me to have you in my life

I weceived Pee mail, e cawds, moosical numbews, cawds in the mail, and boxes of giftses

This is a pawtial view of all the wondewful gifts i weceived

I'm ovewwhelmed by youw genewosity and love.

I thank you wif all my heawt.
You awe the best , and most loving ,genewous gwoup anyone could evew have.

I weceived so many incwedibly nice pwesents..toys and tweats.
Mommi says it's too much and will only give me a few (one at a time) and I think I will donate some of them to some doggies who awe in sheltews neaw me so they can enjoy all youw genewosity too.

So many of you also made me ex static wif donations to doggies who don't have the wawm homes and love that we have. I hope mommi wemembewed to thank you all individooally!!!!!!!!

Jake and Fewgi helped so much by dwawing attention to my wishes
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!
You all make my heawt sing!!!!!!!

Hewe I am, age thwee, weawing my new Pawisian biwfday collaw fwom Ewic my dawling fwiend ovew the big pee, and a necklace fwom Gussie that he designed and made himself ( I heawd that he may be contempalting a new caweew in design)

to continoo the celebwations aftew all my pawtying wif my fwinds, I got a vewy special visit

can you guess who's awm is giving me scwitchies?

hewe is a hint:
a twoo expawt in scwitchies wif yeaws of pwactice wif one of my favowite fwiendses, Miss Snickew's twoo love and evewyone's best pal.....GUSSSIE

YES, MUZZEW was hewe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fow a whole two days!!!!!

Muzzew knows how to tweat us..believe me, she's an expawt!

my Bwuvvew Duffy came ovew when he heawd she was in town..he bwought me steak fwites tweats fow my Biwfday and a donation to Fox tewwiew wescoo, so I decided he desewved a shawe in the tweats given by ouw guest

Muzzew twied to teach us how to take tweats fwom hew sweet lipses, but we wewe clooless

(I think Gussie and Teka awe much mowe talented)

latew when the hoomans thought I had depawted fow Ioway wif Butchy fow a mud westling pawty, they all went out fow dinnew, heheheh
Gussie and i suwe suwpwised them.
We non chalantly showed up at the westauwant, befowe heading out west, hehehehe

aftew dinnew, Gussie and I wewe picked up by Butchy and left fow a faboolous woll in the mud
Miss Snickers has not been feeling well at all, weacting howwibly to hew medication fow hew seezoowes..pleez stop and visit hew.

I found this pictoowe of Daddi, The Pwofessow, and Muzzew on mommi's camewa fwom aftew theiw dinnew..I hope they had as good a time, as I did wif my fwiends.
We loved meeting muzzew and meeting hew and having hew stay in ouw house.
Gussie is a lucky guy. she is a sweetie pie and so is his Dad (he ony got to come fow dinnew cause he's a big impawtant pwofessow and had to wowk in NewJoisey while we wewe having fun)

Thank you again and again fow making my biwfday pawfect!

a Kidnapping (sowt of)

2009-09-23T11:05:00.007-05:00

I've been having the best time pawtying wif my fwiends in Wome.
Celebwating Opus' Biwfday.

It was gweat to see some of my Doggie fwiends showing up too. Those that didn't come, missed out on some faboolous eatables and fun. It was a gweat pawty.

Mommi has been soopew busy and didn't have time to pan anything fow my upcoming biwfday,so my sissie Sassy cat said why don't we just have a quiet time togethew..just the two of us. I was touched by hew sweet offew and happily agweed

Mommi weceived this lettew fwom hew wif photogwaphs:

Dear Asta's mom this is for your eyes only. Do not let Asta see as this is a surprise. You see Asta thinks that I am taking her out for her birthday, just the two of us. Well I am taking her out but forgot to mention that there is no such thing as just the two of anything when involving the gang. The photos will explain all.

photo by Sassy

#1 photo - After Opus's party I approach Asta to take her out for her birthday. Unknown to her the MFV is awaiting with all ready to go to a secret location.

I was blidfolded by sassy and told she had a suwpwise fow me..hmmmmmm..wondew what's going on?

photo by Sassy

"Here is the one of us leaving Rome for the suprise destination to celebrate Asta's birthday.

We took one more fly over to glance down at the beautiful Coliseum. Poor Asta didn't realize that she was facing the wrong way as she is blind folded."
Sassy

"Please make sure those vinos are well secured. We'll need them when we get to NY!!!"

Momo
